SUBJECT: Joint Funding Agreement with the U .S. Geological Survey
Specific Request ( s ) or Recommendation ( s ) & Background &
Justification
1 . RECOMMENDATION
APPROVE Joint Funding Agreement with the U . S . Geological Survey
for stream gaging and AUTHORIZE Chief Engineer to execute
agreement .
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost of the stream gaging program for the period of
October 1 , 1986 to September 30 , 1987. is $12 , 300 . The Flood
Control District ' s costs are $6 , 150 , U . S . G . S . costs are $6 , 150 .
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
Since 1962 , the U . S . Geological Survey and the Contra Costa
County Flood Control District have been sharing the operation and
maintenance costs on the stream gages on San Ramon Creek at San
Ramon , Little Pine Creek near Alamo and Wildcat Creek at Richmond
under the U . S . G . S . Cooperative Water Resources Investigation
Program .
Long- term , continuous records of stream flow are essential to the
calibration and verification of watershed runoff data used by the
District ' s Engineering Division for the design of all drainage
improvements in the County.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Loss of opportunity to share cost which would cause loss of long-
term data base required to predict storm runoff for project
design .
